behavior/neurological
• mice treated with tamoxifen at early postnatal times (P1), but not at late postnatal times or as adults, show increased immobility in the forced swim test and in the tail suspension test
• mice treated with tamoxifen at P21 do not exhibit impaired hippocampal neurogenesis under normal conditions, however after repeated restraint stress, these mice show an increase in immobility compared to non-stressed mutants and stressed controls
|
• mice treated with tamoxifen at an early age exhibit lower locomotor activity as adults
|
nervous system
• mice treated with tamoxifen at P1 show impaired neuronal differentiation in the hippocampus as indicated by a lower ratio of NeuN+/BrdU+ cells than in controls and a higher ratio of GFAP+/BrdU+ cells among BrdU+ cells
|
• a decrease in proliferating cells is seen in the hippocampal dentate gyrus when mice are treated with tamoxifen at P1, but not when mice are treated with tamoxifen at P21
